Mark Judge, Kavanaugh's high school classmate, details high school parties in past writings

Source: CNN.com

Separate from his book, Judge -- in a 2013 piece for The Daily Caller -- says of former President Barack Obama that he "doesn't have just a streak of the feminine in him; he seems to be a woman, and a feminist one at that, with a streak of man in him."

<snip>

Attorney Seth Berenzweig, a Virginia-based lawyer who otherwise has no connection to Kavanaugh or the allegations, was given a copy of the high school's 1983 yearbook by an individual who requested anonymity. The yearbook features captions such as "Do these guys beat their wives?" and "Prep parties raise question of legality."
In the yearbook, Judge's page included the quote: "Certain women should be struck regularly, like gongs," citing Sir Noel Coward.

6. There is a bit of a homoerotic vibe to the article.

The way he feminizes President Obama and later on this...
"But there's also that ambiguous middle ground, where the woman seems interested and indicates, whether verbally or not, that
the man needs to prove himself to her. And if that man is any kind of man, he'll allow himself to feel the awesome power, the
wonderful beauty, of uncontrollable male passion
," he wrote.

He is not demonstrating admiration for another male nor is he making an objective comment about the attractive qualities of another man. This reads as if he is fetishizing male power.

Obama respects women, therefore he is not really a man.

I guess I am just too damn old to not be shocked about this stuff. Stormy's description of Trump's sexual equipment would have had my parents in cardiac arrest. Grandma would have died on the spot. They would have been safe because no newspaper or TV news would have dared print or air it. I don't want to sound naive, but it is a bit bizarre at best. I do have a bit of insight into the rich kids prep school scene. One of my uncles taught at one while studying for his Phd. He said that it was staggering what these kids got away with. In many cases they had lots of money and very little home supervision by parents that were on extended vacations and just as irresponsible as their kids. He called them the Country Club brats. Every weekend was party night and summer one continuous party. He said that many of theses kids, even in their early teens, had a serious drinking problem. When combined with money and access to expensive boats and cars it was a clique that had very little restraint to engage in a hedonist life style.
